Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chapter 178: I’m not called ‘Cao’!


Astonishing Great Grass: "Whoa, big guy!! Big guy!! Where did you get this thing from, I'm begging you!!"

The martial artist with this heaven-defying ID crazily flooded the chat and frantically added Su Tu as a friend.

This thing was useless for Su Tu, but since he acquired it himself, there was no reason to give it away for nothing.

So, he accepted this person's friend request.

Astonishing Great Grass: "A big guy is indeed a big guy, you can get this thing!"

As soon as I woke up: "It was just a coincidence."

Astonishing Great Grass: "Big guy, the fact that you can get this thing shows you know that the Human-faced Fruit is an initiator for cultivating some Body Tempering Methods. I won't hide anything, how about this, I offer a Tier Five Heart and Spirit Divine Power as a trade.

This is the highest price I can offer. Of course, I am indeed getting a bargain since the Human-faced Fruit is now extinct in Star River, and to trade something invaluable with a price is understandable if you're unwilling."

This person was quite honest.

While sending the photo to the group, Su Tu sent it to Brother Hu as well, since this item was indeed as this person said, some Body Tempering Methods initially require medicinal fluids as initiators, and the Human-faced Fruit is one of them.

For Su Tu, this item wasn't very useful.

A Tier Five Heart and Spirit Divine Power, in contrast, was more useful to him.

So, Su Tu replied: "No problem, this item is useless to me, let's trade."

Soon, a message came back from the other side: "Great!! Thank you, big guy!! Thank you so much, my name is Zhao Budian, ranked 47 on the young talents list. If you ever need me in the future, feel free to reach out!"

"I'll be heading to Ancestor Star tomorrow, I'll contact you then!"

"Sure!" After replying to the message, Su Tu closed the chat page, and when he looked at the group chat again, he saw the group of martial artists discussing Su Tu's background.

Scrambled Eggs: "This thing is extinct in the current world, him being able to acquire it shows his extraordinary background, quite a big deal, perhaps he comes from a different era!"

Charge Charge Charge: "Whoa!! Another freak has appeared!! Feng, tell us what's going on, for real!"

Dongdong: "Big guy, you're awesome, can you spar with me?"

Scrambled Eggs: "Haven't your thoughts gone beyond fighting?"

Dongdong: "Uh... can you spar with me @Scrambled Eggs..."

.....

"Found it, finally found it!!"

In a wilderness on a New Star, a boy with a face covered in dust jumped excitedly.

"Finally found the Human-faced Fruit this time, really got to thank that person properly. After all, how on earth could they possibly be an [Emperor]? Such a presence is not something ordinary people can compare to!"

While speaking, the boy frowned.

"No way, they have standards, I can't pretend to be ignorant, shall I bring these few pieces of Ancient Skill stone slabs to them?"

He turned to look at the few stone slabs in his backpack, emanating an ancient atmosphere,

"Oh... this stuff is useless, just has collectable value. That person could offer the Human-faced Fruit, how could they be short of this little money..."

Zhao Budian scratched his head in distress.

If nothing else works, he could only bring these few stone slabs to the [Emperor] and hope they don't disdain them.

...

Su Tu understood.

Apart from martial arts, this group talked about everything, from history to technology, from civilization to war, from bikinis to Lolita.

Generally speaking, they discussed everything except the useful stuff.

Watching the chatter in the group, Su Tu casually stole two emoji stickers and then closed his phone.

Just now he asked Tang Yangwu and the others, they were martial artists who withdrew before the chaotic battle and were directly sent back to the North Sea. With no familiar people around at the moment, Su Tu decided to rest early.

These days he was indeed somewhat tired, but he had gained a lot, now turning into the [Emperor] title. Yet Su Tu's mentality remained steady.

He always had talent, but expressing talent is a long process.

As the Martial Champion Scholar said, a genius that hasn't risen and an ordinary person are indistinguishable.

Perhaps the Federation would grant respect due to the symbolic [Emperor] title, but that respect arises because of the Martial God.

Only strength can speak for everything, if one indulges in their title and disregards cultivation and realm, then that would truly be laughable.

Respect is never achieved through titles and names, but through strength, through fighting with fists.

After steadying his mind, Su Tu lay down.

Compared to other skills, the progress of skill acquisition had fallen behind too much, he needed to work hard, following this pace, Culinary Skill would soon overtake skill acquisition.

But now, Su Tu also began to value Culinary Skill, not to mention anything else, just the fact that it could provide skill points made Su Tu pay attention.

In a daze, Su Tu entered a dream.

After a long while, the breeze lingered outside the window, a few solitary leaves swirled in the wind, and then at the window, the breeze ceased, and a pair of indistinct eyes suddenly looked at Su Tu, then formed into a shadow rushing toward him.

Within the Sacred Realm of Heart and Spirit.

Su Tu dove again, his current limit was 1300 meters, each time reaching this distance, his heart and spirit would collapse and return to his True Self world.

But this time, things were slightly different.

This time, at 1300 meters, when Su Tu's heart and spirit were about to collapse, the nine dragons from the Emperor title on his True Spirit roared, their power instantly empowered his True Self Dharma Aspect, stabilizing the heart and spirit that were about to collapse.

With this force, Su Tu sank deeper, though the sensation of his heart and spirit shattering, like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, was overwhelming, he still wouldn't stop.

With each bit deeper, the pain on his heart and spirit increased, but Su Tu refused to give up, beyond exploring the Sea of Suffering Origin, a creed sustained him.

That is...

"Must complete the words!!"

Just thinking about those four words made Su Tu's head ache, he must complete his name over the Origin, even if just completing his surname would be good!

This creed sustained his True Self.

But in the end, everything turned to emptiness, his heart and spirit's True Self reached its limit.

Just before the depth of 2000 meters, the True Self dissipated, scattered among lights and shadows, and extinguished.

Beneath the Sea of Suffering, all was without light or form, nothing existed.

However, at this moment, a sudden, resounding knock echoed.

clang clang clang!!

It sounded like the impact of a heavy hammer, akin to the resonance of furnace flames!!

In an instant, streams of brilliant light recondensed, and Su Tu's True Self Dharma Aspect reappeared.

"Heart Furnace assist me!!"

Su Tu was somewhat excited, after undergoing countless hammerings, the blessing from the Heart Furnace in the Sacred Realm finally materialized.

In the Sacred Realm, one can regenerate their true form once more.

Adding one more chance, the tempering method given by Old Zhou was invaluable and at this moment made Su Tu's achievement possible!

Watching him suppress everything at the moment of rebirth.

Broke the two-thousand-meter barrier.

The next moment!!!

humming, humming, humming!!!

That 'canvas' filled with mysterious aura finally appeared before Su Tu, the other names on it still unclear, except the word '艹', which stood out.

"Finally can complete it!"

Su Tu felt a thrill in his heart, let the mighty '艹' go to hell!!

He thought so, hesitantly reaching out, wanting to complete his surname beneath the '艹' character.

However, just as he touched the canvas.

Within Su Tu's heart and spirit, above his True Spirit, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted, causing the entire 'canvas' to tremble slightly, as if in fear.

Yet, this aura was incomparably gentle when falling upon Su Tu, feeling somewhat familiar, akin to the grand voice when he recently apprenticed.

Su Tu saw the '艹' character he originally left start to gradually cover with a layer of golden color.

"Now is not the time to think about these things, complete the word first!"

He hesitated not at all, only wanting to complete his name, but... when the golden light completely covered the '艹' character.

Vast, majestic, like the praise from the ends of existence, the origin of all beings resounded.

"All-powerful, true name everlasting '艹', blessed by [World Annihilation], your true name spreads across all realms, you are immortal, eternal, the true knowledge and truth of all!"

Following the emergence of this voice, Su Tu's action froze involuntarily, and in that moment...

The 'canvas' shattered into broken shadows instantly.

Then, the True Self Dharma Aspect could no longer withstand everything, collapsing in an instant.

Su Tu returned to his True Self world, with Heishan creating a rocking chair for him, allowing him to comfortably lie on it.

[You glimpsed the Sea of Suffering Origin, Skill Level in Dao cultivation +200 Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency +50]

[Spiritual Wisdom (High Tier): 4310/5000]

[Dao Cultivation (High Tier): 3800/5000]

At this moment, Su Tu's expression was extremely displeased.

Good news, after entering the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage, his name on the stone slab received a boost and blessing, though its purpose now remains unknown, it accumulates like a mountain stream, promising grace in the future.

Even the singing voice has risen in stature compared to before, mentioning above 'all-powerful, true name everlasting', and more.

Bad news, the word wasn't completed!!

Clearly, he was likely on the path to Daluo, taking an extra step, but Su Tu couldn't be happy.

Missed this opportunity, wanting to complete the word, how long it would take is unknown.

It's safe to say, Su Tu's mood is very unpleasant now.

"Big cat, dig that thing out for me!!"

"Don't damn block my sight here!!"

He looked at a corner of his True Self world, uncharacteristically swearing, and the crouching big cat beside him pounced up, rushing towards a certain void in his True Self world.

Opening its huge mouth, it tore aggressively.

Upon hearing a ripping sound, a human face was forcibly torn from the void.

It was a broken human face, covered in scars, when held in the big cat's mouth, the whole face was filled with extreme terror.

"You... how did you find me!!"

Su Tu had no interest in dealing with him now.

This thing was a broken piece of an apostle, awakened by Su Tu's leaking heart and spirit from the Immortal Ruins, following him outside.

After Xue Yue devoured the Celestial Dao Divine Son's [Listening], it became keener, long since discovered this thing.

This thing is actually just a manifestation of heart and spirit, lacking an entity, further weakened by sleep, originally Su Tu wanted to tease him, but now had no mood.

"Eat it!"

Su Tu casually ordered, and the big cat followed suit, without waiting for the face to respond, opening its massive mouth and swallowing it directly.

"A fragment lacking any memory." Su Tu spoke dismissively.

Then, he suddenly paused, previously allowing the big cat to eat the apostle remnant because he sensed that the apostle's memory was entirely absent.

This feeling came subtly, as if after returning from the Sea of Suffering, he gained the ability to directly see through others' thoughts in his True Self world; no, that's not quite right, but Su Tu couldn't clearly articulate what it was.

"So weak it can't even provide proficiency.."

At this time, Su Tu suddenly sensed something, through the already obliterated apostle, he felt its connection to somewhere, and that place was...

"North Sea...."

"Seems there's still a bit of work to be done when I return."

Besides this face, there are other apostle remnants in the North Sea, meaning that besides the Hua Family brothers, the Three Deceits Cult has other backups, only they haven't awakened the apostles, instead bringing the remnants back to the North Sea.

Su Tu's interest in these things is minimal now, he just wants to know one thing...

"When can I complete my name!!"
